wtf!? 'SheZow,' The 'Transgender' Superhero Cartoon????

[tmleadr03]

It would not be transgender, it would be transvestite. If you are going to be all upset, at least get the right reason.

Then you must really hate Bugs Bunny cartoons because I am pretty sure I remember Bugs cross dressing quite a few times:

They need to get that filth off of TV too!!! It's the fall of western Civilization.

Apples to oranges comparison, the context is entirely different.

Fail

How is it different? Because you like Bugs Bunny?

Male characters have been dressing as women for along time for entertainment.

Some Like it Hot. Kabuki.

However what BP and others are saying is: What was once done in the name of comedy , to get a laugh has been taken to an extreme. It's used not so much for shits n giggles as more of an agenda.

Burn an American flag Free speech, a mexican one and it's racist and hateful. Call someone a cracker HA HA, call a spade a spade you might have been a food network hostess. Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn a shadow of segregation, Billy has 2 mommies is acceptable.
Abstaining as part of sex education, BAD IDEA and Unrealistic, Showing elementary school kids the correct way to apply a condom acceptable.
Shooting team and rifle rack has been replaced by swat team, arrest and expulsion.
On and On.

Aaaand Jim just pretty much said it all. /thread right there!
Seriously, if you try to use Bugs Bunny occasional crossdressing in the name of slapstick comedy as a correlation, defense, or cop out for this type of "accept or you're a bigot" type of agenda, then you seriously have no leg to stand on in this discussion.

That's the thing the turning into a women schtick is supposed to be the funny part. Here is a synopsis of the show according to a release from the network:

“an extreme dude who inherits the power ring of his deceased aunt -- the amazing FEMALE superhero SheZow! The ring gives him villain-battling super powers, but was meant to be worn by a girl, and the result is absolutely she-larious!”

It sound's stupid, I wouldn't watch it.

Sounds like it asks a tough question of "How far would you go to stand up for good?"

Would you stop a purse thief if you could?
What if the only way you could stop the crime or catch the criminal was to be dressed as a girl?
Would your desire to do good trump your disdain for playing the opposite sex?


I realize that is probably not at all the point behind the show, but it still popped into my mind after reading all the uproar about it. Really, how big of a deal is the cross dressing compared to the reason for the cross dressing?

You ate a lot of paint chips as a child didn't you?

Yes, but I'm so young* that they were not lead based.

Holy blown out of proportion Batman! It's a bad cartoon as far as cartoons go but it doesn't push cross dressing on kids. The main character finds his dead aunt's superhero ring and puts it on while mocking his sister. The ring turns him into a superhero that happens to be a girl character. He's still a boy when he changes to Shezow he's just dressed like the character. His sister and friend make fun of him when they see him "transform". If anything the jokes and some situations could be considered offensive to women.

Sssshhhhhh, don't need to make any sense here.... Haven't you figured this out yet? Liberals will argue pointlessly about guns, we will argue pointlessly about anything "unmanly". Duh.
